               It shall be unlawful for any person to permit his animal to run at large if such animal
               has been deemed a public nuisance in writing by a county animal control officer. In
               such cases, the owner must keep the animal on his property at all times unless the
               animal is effectively leashed and under the control of a competent person.

               It shall be unlawful for any person while harboring, walking, riding, in possession
               of or in charge of, a dog, horse, or other domesticated animal, on public property
               or public right of way, or any private property without the permission of the private
               property owner, to allow their animal to soil or defile said property. Every owner
               shall have in his or her possession a bag or other container that closes, which is
               suitable for removing feces deposited by the animal. For horses or other large domesticated
               animals, the animal must be equipped with a manure catcher to immediately prevent
               manure from soiling or defiling above referenced locations, if requested to do so
               by a member of the county sheriff's department.
